Read this excellent article about Greenwood, Tulsa's Black Wall Street, burned in a riot almost one hundred years ago.

In my all-things-Oklahoma thriller, STRIKE PRICE, a long end-note is devoted to this tragic, unreported event and other hidden history.

“This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day”
― William Shakespeare

Hi L.A. - thanks for the friend request. I see you are a writer of thrillers, that must be so much fun!

Hi William,
Sorry if there is confusion. The Kindle Unlimited price is 0.00--that's out of my hands because Amazon itself runs that program. The UK Kindle Countdown discount I mentioned starts (and is the largest) September 12, with an initial price of 0.99 pounds, gradually increasing by the 19th back to 5.35 pounds.
